Question:

Al,

I’ve found these two Red Wing jugs with Montana advertising and am trying to determine if they are priced right to buy.  Both are in overall good condition.  No cracks only a couple of small minor chips.  The zinc glaze is a 1/2 gallon jug and the brown topped shoulder jug appears to be a 1 1/2 or 2 gallon jug. two photos are attached. Can you estimate the value for me?

Best regards,

Ted

Answer: I went to another expert on your jugs and was told that the advertising on your Red Wing Montana jugs was quite common.  However, there are not many of them around.  Value is between $400 to $500 each.  Al Kohlman
